40 Impressive Product Ads You Don’t See in Magazines

Advertisement

We constantly see a lot of impressive advertisements in the magazines, posters and all but that’s just what being printed for us. Chances are, there are lots of great designs out there that have not surfaced. These designs could be done by students for school projects, passionate graphic designers or even failed pitches that did not meet industry requirements. However we thought they are great and deserve some publicity. We respect the fact that these designers are wiling to share their artwork. Some are available in high resolution that might fit as wallpapers, but do check with the respective authors if you are going to download them.

Without further ado, here are 40 Impressive Product Advertisement You Don’t See in Magazines. Full list after jump.

    These are all just a bunch of over-photoshopped pieces. They seem to be more about “let’s see how many special effects I can cram into the space that have nothing to do with the product it’s supposed to be selling.” That and the effects are on the out-and-out in terms of trending. Students, get a clue, do something original and start your own trend!

    Nice, but not so originals. Lately all ad comes with the same effects. First was the circles and lines effects (like flash) then came the brushes with gradient of matte colors. I think neven in the story of the industry of ads there was so many copies of the same idea.
    Beauty, but Sad.

    While beautiful, they don’t inspire me to want to buy anything.
    Except the Adidas “the one” ad. That makes me want to buy some pot.

    Everybody and their mother in graphic design wants to copy what Nando Costa started. With that said, these are all very appealing visually, but just about all of them have no idea behind it whatsoever. It’s just eye candy. That’s why they are not advertisements. They’re just pretty wallpaper.

    Reply
  15. Neil December 25th, 2008

    All of these ads are using the exact same overdone effects and none of them have any real message behind them. Sure, they’re pretty to look at, but when an ad becomes more about flourishes and Photoshop filters than the actual product being promoted then it fails.

  16. Apoc December 25th, 2008

    The last 4 or 5 comments are pretty much dead-on. If you want to see even better examples of these, definitely check out all of helz’s work at his site (www.hejz.com).

  17. BlueDee December 25th, 2008

    Hmm, I have to agree with Neil’s comment. The theme seem to be repetitive. An image of a product covered by too much digital art. An ad must convey a message but the ad designers just what to show all the neat stuff they can do …

  18. Ben Bleikamp December 25th, 2008

    You probably wouldn’t see these ads because they are just products with a bunch of layer effects and airbrushes – they say nothing about what the product is or what it defines. They look nice, yes, but there is more to an ad than that.

    So, they’re all either made by the same people, or graphic design is in a sad state of stagnation.

    You won’t see them in Magazines for the simple reason that the’re not good ads. They are posters.
    As said, they look nice, but the product focus is lost in between a myriad of photoshop layers of bling and show off. Just have a look at the the bunch of phone comercials here to the bottom. Questions I get when looking at them: Are they hiding something? Is it a crappy product?

    The bare minimum for a print ad should at least have the product in focus in the right context of values.

    I agree that there are too many (faux) product advertisements that consistently feature sparks, bright lights or even random animals or objects coming out of the advertised product. Unless they would actually communicate some of the features within a product it’s totally irrelevant and just dead eye-candy.

    However I disagree that ALL the ads here are the same-old. There are some very impressive concepts here that DO communicate key qualities of the product they advertise.

    I agree that they all tend to follow a certain style in terms of visual trend (Photoshop 2.0, if you will), but I disagree on calling it bad ads simply because they lack a concept. Mood advertising is a huge thing in the industry simply because it works. Think about all the fragrance and fashion ads you see in magazines. No matter how different the styles, they always emphasis mood advertising before conceptual advertising.

    I understand how everyone is saying they lack meaning and originality. They probably don’t belong in a magazine however they do look kickass.

    I made this last year without seeing these. What do you think?

    I have to agree with others that some of the ethereal effects are way overdone and don’t add anything to the context or message of the ads. These are definitely beautiful, but these effects have been done to an overkill in recent years. Instead of illuminating the product, the effects overshadow the product, which is the opposite of what a good ad should do.
